Peery Named Sandia VP for Defense Research

By ExchangeMonitor

Sandia National Laboratories has named James Peery its new vice president for defense research. Peery replaces Jeff Isaacson, who left Sandia in October, and will oversee efforts to develop and integrate advanced science and technology into work for the Department of Defense and other national security agencies. He also will head up the Defense Systems and Assessments Division, which is in charge of much of the lab’s work for DoD and other government agencies.

Peery began his career at Sandia in 1990, spent 2002 to 2007 at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and returned to Sandia in 2007 as the head of its Computation, Computers, Information and Mathematics Center. He has spent the last three years coordinating efforts to recruit wounded combat veterans in the lab’s Wounded Warrior Program. “It is truly an honor to be asked to lead an organization that has developed and continues to develop state-of-the-art technology to protect our warfighter and increase U.S. security,” Peery said in a statement. “The talent and dedication of the staff and management within Defense Systems and Assessments Division is unparalleled.”
